Wouldn’t older cars work??

Yes, at least until you empty your hand-pumped home tanks. How much gasoline to you plan to store? 10 Gallons? 100? 1,000?

Every gasoline station will be inoperative. So your driving radius will be pretty short. If you're planning to bug out, then a huge aux tank on your vehicle will be required.

I loved the way James Burke layed it all out in the first episode of “Connections” way back in 1979.

And I do believe one day, our over-reliance on technology, will trap us, and things will get ugly very quickly.

Only to those lightweights who don’t have a clue as to how to get it out, which can be a good thing for us that do!

I have two old cars that will still work. So does my son-in-law. As for gas, there will be thousands of non-op cars everywhere. Take a low-profile bucket of the type for draining oil, but use it to catch gas after punching a hole in the bottom of car gas tanks with an awl and screwdriver. Plenty of gas for the road. This is what the Road Warrior did.
